Dark Sector Walkthrough & Strategy Guide

The manholes are used to reach the black market guy, who somehow follows Hayden around while hauling along his entire underground shop. The black market guy sells permanent weapons (which don't burn out like enemy weapons), helps install upgrades, and allows weapons in Hayden's possession to be swapped (via the locker).

Hayden can own only one of each type of weapon sold by the black market guy. For example, if he buys the Vekesk Micro, he won't be able to purchase another one until he sells it, along with any upgrades stuck in it. Choose weapons and apply upgrades carefully, given the limited amounts of money and other resources.

Single-Handed Weapons

Single-handed weapons (referred to as "handguns" in the game) are equipped in conjunction with the glaive. These weapons each have two upgrade slots by default.
